Niklas Zennström built Atomico specifically to champion European tech and prove that world-class companies can emerge from Europe rather than Silicon Valley, drawing on his experience scaling Skype from a European startup to hundreds of millions of users globally. As both investor and founder, he focuses on mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to solve large societal problems while emphasizing the emotional and leadership challenges of hypergrowth based on his firsthand operating experience.

Atomico is a founder-built European VC founded by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennström, featuring a Growth Acceleration Team of ex-leaders from Skype, Google, Facebook and Spotify who provide hands-on operational support to portfolio companies. The firm operates partners in Beijing and São Paulo who focus primarily on helping European portfolio companies expand into China and Brazil rather than just sourcing deals, while also running structured programs like the Atomico Angel Programme that has deployed nearly $10m through 65+ handpicked angels targeting underrepresented geographies and demographics.
